Interesting Samizdata post about a possible catastrophic volcano eruption in 535AD. See also this article about supervolcanoes.
Like Patricia Cornwell who spent millions trying to jam home her thesis about Jack the Ripper, the author of Catastrophe needs to jam his point home. It might not be true, but the thought of Yellowstone erupting is certainly quite interesting.
